Chapter 37 Protect It His expression was very solemn, as if...
September had a busy schedule, with the Champions League and the new round of Serie A being held interspersed. Ancelotti only gave everyone a day off on the second day after returning from Ukraine, and asked everyone to return to Milanello to continue training on the third day.
The next round of games was scheduled for September 19, so the coaching staff only arranged recovery training to allow everyone to relax.
Kaka arrived at the training ground early with Inzaghi. He chattered away in the passenger seat, as cheerful as a sparrow. At first, Inzaghi listened with a smile. But once they reached the highway, Kaka began repeating Leah's proposal for the fifth time. He couldn't help but clench the steering wheel. He took deep breaths to resist the urge to throw Kaka out of the car.
So when he ran into Gattuso in the parking lot, he didn't get out of the car. He watched Kaka push the door open and charge forward. The two of them collided head-on, both ready for a fight. In the nick of time, Kaka suddenly stretched out his hand to block Gattuso, waving his fingers outstretched.
Gattuso was almost dizzy by him, and his slap missed.
"Hey! Watch out, Dixie!"
Kaka pulled his hand away in time, carefully observing it in front of his eyes for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched out his fingers in front of Gattuso and shook them. But this time he had learned his lesson and kept a distance from him, so that even if he wanted to hit him, he couldn't.
Gattuso was almost seeing stars: "You have Parkinson's?"
Kaka: “…”
He stretched his hand further forward, right under Gattuso's nose.
"Look, don't you notice that I'm different today?"
"I haven't noticed. He's still as annoying as ever." Gattuso muttered silently. He turned Kaka's hand over and over again, and couldn't help asking, "Are you really suffering from Parkinson's?"
Seeing Kaka rolling his eyes and reaching for the ring, Gattuso suddenly put a hand on his shoulder. Pirlo leaned over from behind him and pointed at the ring on Kaka's hand.
"Rino, the kid is showing off to you that he's getting married."
Gattuso, who had just had a daughter this year, rolled his eyes and said, trying hard to suppress his complaints, "Really? Congratulations." He turned and walked away, chirping as he went, "You act like you don't have a wife!"
Ancelotti and his training staff were waiting at the training ground early. Last season's perfect finish had the club raising expectations for this season, which in turn put him under even greater pressure. The relentless work had even reduced his belly fat. He stood outside the field with a tactical board, urging his players to hurry forward, "Come and warm up!"
Everyone came here in groups of three or four, with Kaka mixed in among them. He ran to talk to one teammate, then ran to talk to that teammate, with a silly smile on his face, which made Ancelotti couldn't help but smile.
He called Kaka over and asked him, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy today?"
Before he could finish his words, a chorus of voices suddenly shouted from behind him: "Don't ask him!"
Ancelotti was so scared that he almost lost his balance and dropped Kaka from his back.
Before he could ask why, Kaka spoke.
"Oh! Carlo! Did you know that Leah proposed to me yesterday? She agreed to marry me. We plan to hold an engagement ceremony during the off-season. She also said she'll marry me next year..."
It started again.
Everyone couldn't help but cover their ears and ran away one by one, away from this noisy place.
Just now in the locker room, Kaka happily opened the door, and someone asked him what happened. As a result, those few short words were met with tinnitus. He talked about everything from entering the door to leaving, from taking off clothes to putting on clothes. Everyone who came in had to listen to his love story once, so much so that Gattuso and Pirlo, who arrived early, had their eyes wide open. They had listened to it for the seventh time.
Inzaghi, who had heard Kaka's story earlier, had already slipped into the bathroom. He even locked the door to prevent other teammates from hiding in.
In the end, the good-tempered Anbu slapped Kaka in the face, blocking his mouth, and escorted him to the training ground.
I finally got some peace and quiet for a while, but it started again unexpectedly.
Ancelotti was in tears. If he had known, he would not have let this noisy kid speak. When they first met, he thought he was a college student who had just reached adulthood. Unexpectedly, after just a few days of getting along, his true colors were revealed. He showed off in the club, provoked this and that, and kept talking.
Brazilians like Dida can’t say that!
Kaka only shut up when the assistant coach hurried over to announce the start of training. At the last moment, he solemnly took off the ring on his hand and handed it to Ancelotti. The expression on his face was very solemn, as if he was passing the torch.
"Carlo, you will protect it, right!" He stared at Ancelotti with his big eyes and bright eyes.
Ancelotti had no choice but to put his hands together and respond with the same solemn expression: "I will."
Then he added, "And you, get back to training! If you keep on dawdling, I'll throw the ring down the drain!"
He gripped the ring fiercely, as if he had something to hold against Kaka. Kaka was frustrated. He had miscalculated. He should have known not to give such an important thing to Ancelotti. He had betrayed his trust!
The ring was still in his hand. Kaka endured it, turned around and ran to the team to warm up angrily.
When Leah realized what had happened, she couldn't help but scream, "Help!"
How will she face these people in the future?
After listening to Martini's story, Adriana called to congratulate her. At this time, she was smiling and said, "That's how young men are. They are very unstable in doing things. Why don't you marry him?" She was joking.
"No, if Kaka knew I wanted to go back on my word, he would definitely turn our family and the club upside down. By then, the whole city of Milan would be covered in dark clouds, filled with his sullen face." Leah paused, then continued, "And I can't bear to let him go. He's been looking forward to it for a long time."
"I knew it." Adriana laughed on the other end of the phone. "When are you going to go to the city government to apply for marriage registration?"
Leah: "I haven't decided yet. Let's wait until next summer. That's when we can take the vows, get the marriage license, and have the wedding all at once. I think winter is too cold."
Adriana agreed, "Indeed, next summer you'll have a long vacation and you can go on a honeymoon."
The two chatted for a while about weddings and wedding dresses before Adriana hung up the phone as Daniel called out to her. Maldini was AC Milan's captain, a caring man both on and off the pitch. As his wife, Adriana often assisted the wives of the players, especially the families of the foreign players, in various ways, hoping to free them from worries off the pitch.
The tacit cooperation between the two made Liya envious. She also wanted to have such a good wife, preferably one who could do whatever she told her to do at work. As for life...
She glanced at Kaka who was playing with Luna in the yard. He was holding the cat toy and moving it up and down, trying to get Luna to touch it with her claws. When Luna was finally about to touch it, he quickly took it away. He was having a lot of fun playing back and forth. Luna meowed, hit him hard with her tail like a feather duster, and left without looking back.
Kaka was stunned. He straightened up and asked blankly, "Did she just scold me?"
Leah leaned against the door and said sympathetically, "That's right, dear, and as far as I know, the curses were very dirty." She slowly stabbed her injured old father again.
I thought that after a week, Kaka's enthusiasm for proposing would have died down.
On September 19th, AC Milan played away against Bologna. Kaka and the team took the bus to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Bologna. At the same time, Lea was ordered to take the team to the Meazza Stadium to maintain order. That day, the San Siro Stadium was renamed the Meazza, and Inter Milan was hosting Palermo.
Although it was a pity that she couldn't watch Kaka's game on TV, Leah still patrolled diligently to prevent unnecessary conflicts among fans.
After the game started, the team split into two groups: one to maintain the field, and the other to patrol outside. Leah and her team stayed below the stands, keeping an eye out for anyone throwing objects into the field.
She stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel, her good-looking face and neat uniform making her stand out. Not only were the players and staff members looking at her, but even the audience were whispering to each other, as if they recognized her.
When Kaka learned she had to maintain order during Inter Milan's match, she was worried for a moment. She was afraid that if Inter Milan lost, the neighbors would see their families standing so close and start throwing fireworks and water bottles at them. Wouldn't that be a convenient thing to do?
Leah chuckled and said, "It would be convenient for me to take him in and sober him up for a while."
Both Inter Milan and Palermo played conservatively, with back and forth, and after the game, Leah, who was not interested in football to begin with, felt drowsy.
Near the end of the game, the two sides were tied.
Leah turned on the intercom, ready to tell everyone to cheer up and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaotic exit. As soon as she pressed the button, she heard laughter from the nearest seats. When she looked back, they hadn't stopped laughing and were waving at her.
Leah didn't understand what was going on. She looked at the colors of the clothes worn by the fans in the stands in that area and confirmed that they were the few Palermo fans who came to watch the game before she walked over with confidence.
"What's wrong?"
A smaller female fan leaned over the front railing and shouted at her: "Are you and Kaka getting married?"
Afraid that the noise in the stadium was too noisy and Leah couldn't hear her, she shouted extra loudly on purpose. It happened to be a dead ball time, and the audience seats were quiet after just shouting a round. The sudden sound made everyone look sideways.
Leah: “…”
She almost couldn't maintain her expression and asked with difficulty: "How do you know?"
The female fan was also a little embarrassed and gave her an apologetic look. When she heard her question, she stretched out her arm and handed her the phone. She was using the Motorola v3, which was only launched this month. There was a blurry photo on the 2.2-inch display.
Leah looked closely and found that it was a MMS message with the content: Kaka is getting married!
The accompanying picture is a photo that the sender took with great effort in the audience. Although it is a bit blurry due to magnification, it can be seen that Kaka is lowering his head and kissing his ring finger on the court.
Leah returned the phone, and in the expectant eyes of the female fans, she nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, we are getting married."
A burst of cheers erupted from the stands. Although none of them were fans of the same club, Italians, who loved to join in the fun, were always happy to hear about such a happy event. Gradually, the news spread, even to Inter Milan fans. Everyone craned their necks to look over, even the Inter players, who were leaving the field after the match, looked over.
Leah was organizing people to maintain order when she saw a man in a black coat walking towards her from a distance. She stopped and waited for him to come closer.
The person who came was Vieri. Due to injury, he did not start the game, but sat on the bench to watch the game. The bench was very close to the audience, so when the news came, he also heard it.
As a good friend of many Milan players, he heard the good news about Kaka and came to join in the fun.
"Hello, I'm Vieri, a friend of Inzaghi and Maldini."
Could rival families become good friends? Leah blinked in confusion and extended her hand to greet him.
"Hello, I'm Rosalia Bianchi, Kaka's girlfriend."
"My fiancée, right?" he said with a smile. "Pippo said Kaka often mentioned you. Although I haven't seen you, I have heard of you many times."
Leah smiled awkwardly and decided to go home and punish Kaka to continue drinking fruit and vegetable juice tonight.
Vieri continued: "I heard you are getting married, congratulations!"
The news spread so quickly that Leah gained a new understanding of the Italians' love of joining in the fun.
Leah: "Yes, it has just been decided and has not yet been announced to the public."
"It's just a matter of time." Vieri also had some understanding of the fact that Kaka mentioned Leah all the time. He always received calls from Inzaghi, who complained in words that the kid was too clingy and how the other party could stand him!
"By the way, I haven't thanked you for promoting Sweet Year yet. Ever since Kaka was photographed wearing it by the media, the same clothes have been sold out and have been restocked several times. Paul and I even said we would treat you to dinner to thank you."
Leah: ...?
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who are you and Sweet Year?"
"Oh, didn't you know?" Vieri pulled out a Sweet Year pendant from his pocket and handed it to her. "Paul and I founded this brand together. I'm the boss."
Leah's vision went dark.
It's you! You ruined Kaka's aesthetics and fashion sense!
